In quality and lightweight look at Swarovski and Leupold

 

[CBH Australia]

Leupold and Swarovski have good scopes that are light in their class.

I'd recommend you consider something
Rugged, Reliable, Repeatable.
NF NXS 2.5-10x 42. MOAR. 20.5 oz.

NXS 2.5-10 is a great fit like stated above, they have their place with hardcore durability in the ultralight/sheep rifle department - if your looking for pure weight savings alone the leupold 2.5-8 is hard to beat.

straight power scopes are always lighter than their varying power counterparts... I tossed a 6x Sightron on my kid's Tikka T3 tight in 7rem. It is a whopping 12oz. ...

Swfa is making ultra light scopes that will boggle the mind

 

[JimFromTN]

When I think ultralight scope, I think 13oz to 14oz or less. Seems like it all depends on your budget. For variables, $300 leupold freedom and swfa 2.5-10, $500 leupold Vx3 hd, $700 Swaro z3 3-9x36 and maybe the 3-10x42. I don't know that anyone makes an ultralight scope thats more expensive than the swaro z3.

 

[Aussie Hunter Steve]

Swarovski 3-9x36...

How does 9.5 oz for a variable power scope rate against all the big names?
